  • Both GNU and GrapheneOS have staunch requirements and will accept no compromises.

    This is a situation where their requirements don’t align, so they’ll never reach an agreement.

    In this case GNU won’t certify GrapheneOS as fully open because it includes binaries that aren’t open

    The FSF is more along your line of improving the situation where they can


  • I’d used Linux a bit out of curiosity in the Windows XP era

  • Starting with the iPhone 14, they put the last generation processor in the non-pro and the current generation processor in the pro

    The weird thing here is that the 15 non-pro (the new processor from the 14 gen - A16) has a faster NPU than the M1 processor that does support the AI feature

    The only possible technical reason is because they put such an anemic amount of RAM in their phones. Otherwise it’s entirely an artificial limitation

    The one I run on my desktop needs at least 12 gigs of VRAM
